Creating a table of contents for an e-book on addiction and dependence

Any e-book that focuses on the terrifying challenges of substance abuse, addiction, or substance dependence should be written with the reader in mind. It should include many examples of different substances that addicts suffer from. Such an e-book should appeal not only to a grieving person suffering from dependency, but also to their friends, family, doctors, and counselors. Okay, I’ve provided below some ideas on what topics should be boldly covered and listed in the index.

Creating a table of contents first without the page numbers is an ideal strategy for the writer to keep them on track, covering all the important topics and subtopics. Later, after the eBook is complete, edited, formatted, and after the images are added, the last thing would be to add the page numbers for each chapter and sub-chapter of the eBook.

Here are some of the topics I would recommend in the addiction e-book and table of contents:
